The Daily Gambling Fix

The Reason: The Flames have struggled since the new year with their only win in the past 10 games coming against the dreadful Oilers. Tonight they take on the Flyers at home, a place where they have struggled to win games. With the new additions to their roster expected to suit up, look for the Flames to appear disorganized and Philly should be able to take advantage of that.

The Reason: The Bruins have struggled to find some consistency and have yet to regain their form from the 2008-09 season. They currently find themselves on a four-game losing streak and will have to travel to Buffalo to take on a Sabres team that has been outstanding on home ice (17-5-5).

The Reason: Next to their Alberta rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, the Flames may be the coldest team in the NHL. Their struggles are likely to continue tonight when they take on the Coyotes. Phoenix is coming off a big road win in Detroit and have played some great hockey on home ice (19-8-2).

The Reason: The Devils are coming off a tough 3-0 loss to the Sens last night and things do not get any easier tonight when they travel to Buffalo. The Sabres have lost their last two in a row, but are among the league’s best at home (16-5-5). Expect them to get back to their winning ways.

The Reason: The LA Kings are definitely the surprise team in the NHL this season. Who would have thought that almost at the half the season they would have a winning record of 29-13-3? This should be an easy one for the Kings who travel to Toronto for the first time in a long time.

The Reason: The Sabres have been great thus far this season, but the Canucks seem to be making their move as the Olympic break approaches. Winners of their last four in a row, look for Vancouver to continue their winning ways at home, where they have been especially tough to beat (21-7-1).

The Reason: The Stars have not exactly been hot as of late (3-7 in their last 10), but no team has found themselves in a bigger drought that the Oilers. Recording only one win in their previous ten games, we don’t expect things to turn around for them tonight in Edmonton.

The Reason: Although Sidney Crosby has been on a tear, the Pens have not, posting a 5-5 record over their last ten. Tonight they will host a Caps team that has won its last four in a row and you know Ovi and company will be looking for revenge after what happened in ast years playoff series between these two teams.

The Reason: The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a loss to Oklahoma City and are definitely looking to rebound against the struggling Kings who have lost 4 in a row. Not only have they lost 4 in a row, but they are 1-9 over their last 10 and are a terrible 3-16 on the road. Look for this to be an easy one for the Hawks.

The Reason: The Cleveland Cavaliers, I think this team speaks for itself. 31-11 over all and 14-3 at home and we forgot to mention King James. The Raptors have been hot over the past 8 games but it doesn’t matter how good you are its tough when you are playing the Cavaliers. Pick the Cavs and don’t look back.

The Reason: The Phoenix Suns have lost 3 in a row and are 5-5 over their last 10 games. The Grizzlies have been playing great ball winnign 3 in a row and 8 of their last 10. But these stats dont impress us, we think the Grizzlies hot streak will end tonight against the high flying Suns. Play the Suns and don’t worry about the records.

The Reason: The Washington Capitals will host the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight, the Leafs are coming off an impressive win over the Flyers last night but having to travel should hurt the Leafs. Look for the Caps to come out strong and easily win this game by a 3 goal margin.

The Reason: The Flyers have won four in a row and are 8-1-1 in their last 10, while the Leafs have lost four straight. Philly is a better team than their record indicates and they are beginning to show that in the new year.

The Reason: Clemson cannot ever seem to beat the Tar Heels, but this year they have a much better team and on their home court they might have a shot. Just kidding, UNC is way to fast and athletic to get beat by the Tigers, even on their home court.

The Reason: The Memphis Grizzlies are only a .500 team, but at home they have a winning record (11-5). The Grizz as of late have been playing better ball so look for this to continue tonight when they take on the LA Clippers.
